RELIEF REQUESTED
Defendant Mary Cummins, (hereinafter “Defendant”) respectfully moves the Court
for an order quashing subpoenas made by Plaintiffs requesting all bank records of
Defendant “Mary Cummins” and parties not part of the underlying complaint from
First Bank and One West banks. Plaintiff already has all of Defendant’s bank
records from First Bank and One West banks! Plaintiffs also have unclean hands
as they committed forgery, fraud and perjury in this case. Defendant received proof
that Plaintiff Lollar and her Texas attorney forged emails from the head of USDA.
They also forged almost all exhibits and a court order. Motion is pending in the

MOTION TO QUASH, MODIFY SUBPOENA, PROTECTIVE ORDER CCP 1987.12
underlying case in Tarrant County, Texas. Defendant will show the court the following
based on documents already filed with this court, attached declaration and exhibits.
INTRODUCTION
Defendant never defamed Plaintiffs. Plaintiffs did not show any element of
defamation, damages or malice. The breach of contract claim, attorney fees, liquidated
damages were all reversed in appeal. Plaintiff Bat World Sanctuary was denied any
claim.
In the underlying case #352-248169-10 Plaintiff requested that Defendant sign a
bank authorization allowing Plaintiff to obtain bank statements of any bank account
held in any bank in the name of “Mary Cummins,” “Mary Cobb” combined with the
social security number of defendant. Judge John Chupp signed a court order stating
Plaintiffs are allowed to have the bank records of Defendant from August 27, 2010 to
the then present December 18, 2015. Defendant signed the bank record authorization
(Exhibit 1).
Judge Chupp also signed a protective order over any bank records of Defendant
(Exhibit 2). The bank records can never be shared publicly, posted on the internet or
shared with any person other than Plaintiff and their attorney Randy Turner. The bank
records can only be used for legal discovery purposes. They cannot be used for any
other purpose.
Plaintiff’s Texas attorney Randy Turner then forged the court order changing the
dates from August 27, 2010 to the date of the signing of the order December 27, 2015
to January 3, 2010 to January 3, 2016.
Plaintiff’s Texas attorney Randy Turner then sent the forged bank authorization
to First Bank and One West banks January 2016. Plaintiff received all bank records
from First Bank and One West bank February 2016. Plaintiffs already have the records
they are requesting in the subpoenas! (Exhibit 3).
MOTION TO QUASH, MODIFY SUBPOENA, PROTECTIVE ORDER CCP 1987.13
Plaintiff’s Texas attorney also demanded the bank records of non-party “Animal
Advocates” from First Bank. The Animal Advocates bank account at First Bank is not
in the name of Defendant. It is not in the SSN of Defendant. The account was merely
opened 14 years ago by Defendant on behalf of Animal Advocates. Defendant resigned
from Animal Advocates October 2012. Public 990’s of Animal Advocates show that
Animal Advocates has no assets and receives barely any donations which don’t cover
expenses. Texas attorney Randy Turner told the judge he received Animal Advocates’
bank records by “accident.”
Judge John Chupp in the underlying case stated on the record that Plaintiff was
not allowed to have the bank records of Animal Advocates as they were and have
never been a party in the case (Exhibit 4). Judge Chupp stated First Bank should have
never given those records to Plaintiff. First Bank demanded the records be returned but
Plaintiff’s Texas attorney Randy Turner refused to return the records.
Plaintiffs served two subpoenas for bank records in this case to One West and
First Bank banks (Plaintiff’s Exh J). Plaintiffs already have all the records from those
banks via the bank authorization. The subpoenas are not needed. Plaintiffs also still
have a signed bank authorization for any records from any other banks. Plaintiffs filed
the subpoenas merely to harass Defendant and rack up a bill for Plaintiff. They should
be sanctioned for wasting the Court and Defendant’s time and costs.
STATEMENT OF THE CASE AND GROUNDS TO QUASH OR MODIFY
SUBPOENA, PROTECTIVE ORDER
The subpoena should be quashed or modified for the following reasons:
1. Plaintiffs already have all bank statements of “Mary Cummins,” “Mary Cobb”
with SSN (redacted) from January 2010 to January 2016. The banks in question only
keep records for five years. There are no other bank statements. In the Texas case
Defendant signed a bank authorization for all “bank records” in the name of “Mary
Cummins” “Mary Cobb” with SSN redacted. Plaintiff received statements of four bank

accounts all of which have been closed for at least two years. The banks closed all of
the accounts due to the bank levy and negative balances. Defendant does not have a
bank account and receives Medi-cal medical insurance from the government. If
Defendant were to ever have a bank account in the future, that account would be
exempt from levy up to a certain limited amount as Defendant receives government
aid. Defendant also claimed every exemption in response to the bank levy. Plaintiff did
not contest any other exemption except that one One West bank account. This court
only allowed Plaintiff to have $4,300 from the only remaining bank account in 2013.
2. Plaintiff Bat World Sanctuary is no longer a party in this case. All causes and
claims of Bat World Sanctuary were dismissed. The subpoena is in the name of “Bat
World Sanctuary and Amanda Lollar.” The subpoena is therefore defective on its face.
Plaintiffs did not change the judgment to reflect current legal parties as requested by
Judge Robert Hess.
3. The subpoena is overly broad requesting “Any and all statements for accounts
held on behalf of any and every “Mary Cummins,” “Mary Cobb” or SSN ***-**-
****.” (Exhibit *). The subpoena should only be for “bank statements” in the name of
“Mary Cummins,” “Mary Cobb” combined with Defendant’s SSN (redacted) for a
limited time related to the underlying lawsuit which was filed in September 2010.
Plaintiffs have a very long history of abusing discovery for harassment purposes only.
They have violated every single authorization for records and protective order in the
underlying case. Plaintiffs could merely state they feel an account is being held on
behalf of Defendant with absolutely no proof. They could access any bank account of
any person with such an open subpoena.
Plaintiff requested all accounts “associated with SSN” (redacted). Defendant was
the founder of non-profit Animal Advocates in 2002 14 years ago. Defendant opened
up a bank account in the name of only “Animal Advocates” with only EIN 48-1287089
in 2002. Defendant was a signatory on that account years ago. Defendant made sure
MOTION TO QUASH, MODIFY SUBPOENA, PROTECTIVE ORDER CCP 1987.15
Defendant’s name was no longer on that account in any way. The bank confirmed this.
Defendant’s SSN was never on that account. The Judge in the underlying case ruled
that Plaintiffs are not allowed to have the records of Animal Advocates.
4. If the court signs an order stating Plaintiff can obtain the bank records via
subpoena to FirstBank or OneWest for bank records, the order must be very specific
for only the records of Defendant, in Defendant’s name and SSN. Defendant must get
a copy of all documents directly from the bank and not Plaintiffs. The documents must
be under a protective order. They cannot be filed in a lawsuit, shared with anyone other
than Plaintiff and her lawyers in the case, posted online or shared with the public.
PRAYER
Defendant respectfully requests that this Court quash this subpoenas for bank
records. In the alternative Defendant requests that the subpoenas be limited to only
Defendant’s “bank records” with Defendant’s SSN and name together. Plaintiff should
not be allowed to ask for bank records of unrelated third party Animal Advocates.
Defendant requests a protective order over any financial documents stating the
contents of the records and the records themselves must never be shared with anyone
other than Plaintiff and her lawyers in this case. They may never be given to anyone
else. They may never be posted online, shared publicly or attached to a legal filing.
Defendant also requests sanctions against Plaintiff and their two new lawyers.
The subpoenas were not necessary. It was filed to waste the Court and Defendant’s
time. It was maliciously filed to try to illegally get the court records of Animal
Advocates which the Judge in the underlying case did not authorize.
Defendant also requests that Plaintiffs email a copy of all filings in this case to
[email protected] Defendant is permanently, legally disabled, has no car, cannot
get to the p.o. box, cannot pay for a ride and cannot afford to buy the documents
online. Defendant requested Plaintiffs to email their documents but they refused.
Defendant just received the documents today and is replying as soon as possible.

MS. CUMMINS: My name is not on the
Animal Advocates' account. My social security numb er
is not on the Animal Advocates' account. I
resigned -- I thought I resigned last October, but I
actually resigned in October of 2012 when I was try ing
to take another job, and I was forced to resign.
My name is not there, and there is no
way Mr. Turner could have gotten that information
without specifically demanding Animal Advocates'
records. And in court you said he's not allowed to
have those records.
THE COURT: I signed a court order
saying -- listen, I signed a court order saying wha t
he could have, right?
MS. CUMMINS: Yes.
THE COURT: Okay. And the bank should
only give him what I signed in the order. He can't
make them give it to him by calling.
MS. CUMMINS: You don't know
Mr. Turner. In the last -- (inaudible) my doctor.
And Mr. Turner doesn't care what order that you wri te
or send. He's going to send something else to them
behind my back and behind the Court's back --
THE COURT: Do you have a copy of the
forged document he sent to the bank?

they are the records of Animal Advocates.

disagree with you. I think that the order that we
sent, wasn't that marked out in there? There was a
sentence in that order that was marked out so that he
couldn't get those records, right?
